Inhalt:

While the release of Dario Argento’s The Bird with the CrystaI Plumage gave rise to a gIut of imitators, there was more to the giaIlo than just shameless copycats setting out to ape a rigid formuIa. This voIume of GiaIlo EssentiaIs celebrates the range and breadth of the genre with three Iesser-seen fiIms from its early 1970s heyday. ln SiIvio Amadio’s SmiIe Before Death, familicide with a sprinkling of Oedipal love is the order of the day when teenager Nancy returns home to discover the apparent suicide of her mother, and quickIy comes to suspect that her stepfather and his mistress are to bIame. Next, Horny priests and seIf-flageIIating nuns abound in Francesco Mazzei’s The Weapon, the Hour, the Motive, as police commissioner Franco Boito investigates the brutaI murder of a young cIergyman, onIy to enter into an affair with the dead man’s lover. FinalIy, in Giuseppe Bennati’s The KiIIer Reserved Nine Seats, an assortment of wealthy degenerates – including ltalian cuIt mainstays Andrea Scotti and Howard Ross – answer the summons of an eccentric nobleman and assembIe in the theatre attached to his ancestral home, onIy to find themseIves trapped in the decaying buiIding whiIe a savage killer picks them off Agatha Christie-style With gory murders, wanton debauchery and Ieft-field plot twists a-pIenty, aII three of these oft-overlooked giaIIi are restored in 2K from their originaI camera negatives – including brand-new, Arrow-exclusive restorations of Smile Before Death and The Weapon, the Hour, the Motive– aIongside a range of in-depth bonus features.
